Guess what?:  Ahok makes time for wife'€™s birthday

J

AKARTA: Basuki '€œAhok'€ Tjahaja Purnama is one of the hardest-working men in the capital, but the governor of Jakarta never forgets that he'€™s a husband, too.

Ahok skipped out of City Hall around 11:30 a.m. on Thursday for an important off-site meeting: his wife Veronica Tan'€™s 39th birthday party.

'€œPak [Ahok] went directly to TS 7 to celebrate the birthday of Ibu [Veronica],'€ a member of the governor'€™s security detail said, referring to Ahok'€™s residence at Taman Suropati 7 in Menteng, Central Jakarta.

A photo of the party on social media showed Ahok and Veronica cutting into a celebratory tumpeng rice cone.

Ahok returned to work around 1:15 p.m., ready for his next task: inaugurating Veronica as the chairwoman of the steering committee of the Jakarta Family Welfare Movement.
